Post M50 Starter Bike?

When I read the Complete Idiots Guide to Motorcycles, they said that the M50 (and C50) would make good starter bikes. They seem "beefier" than say Harley 883. Many say one shouldn't go above 500cc, which leaves the Vulcan 500, and that 650cc is stretching it. I really like the looks of the M50 and the several times I have sat on it, it felt so comfortable. I am 225 lbs, 6 ft. tall. Am I pushing the envelope?
